You aren't paying attention. I'm giving you all a chance. Send me one dollar. $1.00 and I will let you in on the ground floor of this earth shattering, exclusive offer. IPO in my telegraph business. It is a failing enterprise that I will petition the Obama administration for bailout money. I should be able to rescue this business for a mere 200 Billion.

Exactly, and there are some - mainly those who didn't drink the "information wants to be free" kool-aid the left was offering up several years ago - like the Wall Street Journal that seem to be doing quite nicely, thank you very much.

Rupert Murdoch wrote an op-ed on the subject last week that was an interesting read; one of the things he pointed out that no-one else seems to have pointed out is that, once the government declares media outlets to be non-profits, they can no longer back political candidates - something the left would just love to shut down, as can be seen by the hysterical reaction from the Democrats in Congress to the temerity of the Catholic Church speaking out on the abortion funding issue - Woolsey demanded that the IRS investigate whether their tax-exempt status should be yanked, effing b**ch:

(if anyone finds the NSDAP trappings offensive, sorry, but since Herr-y Reid took the gloves off by essentially equating the opponents of Obamacare with pre-Civil War slave owners, it's fair game as far as I'm concerned; to wit:
